Gameplay reviews highlight a mixed experience, with some players noting improvements post-update while others find the difficulty spikes overwhelming, particularly from long-range enemies and durable mobs. Issues with skill effectiveness and pickup mechanics have also been raised, alongside reports of glitches that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the challenge, others feel the game falls short compared to its genre peers in terms of graphics and gameplay quality.
“The overall gameplay and skills have been improved after the recent update, but the ranged attacks deal a lot of damage from the flowers. After completing 8 minutes, it is impossible to defeat those long-range mobs due to too many enemies coming at you, and those skeletons are way too durable. If you don't get the desired skills by that time, it gets too difficult to even play, and the character just stops moving.”
“A pretty poor imitation of other games of the same genre; disappointing to say the least, as others have far better graphics and gameplay.”

If you don't get the desired skills by that time, it gets too difficult to even play, and the character just stops in between while moving.”
“Extremely hard for me; the skills feel useless. The pickup mechanic requires you to be literally on top of the experience to collect it unless you have the magnet skill. Overall, not my cup of tea... if you want a challenge, this is it. Enjoy, y'all.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for its intrusive ads, which cannot be easily exited, and a high subscription fee of $11 per month to remove ads, leading some players to label it a cash grab. Additionally, the ad-based revival system is seen as ineffective, as it does not pause the game, resulting in further frustration.
“I would give it 3 stars originally, but when I unlocked the shop, I knew this game was a cash grab.”
“Removal of ads is $11/month, which I find to be a ridiculous trend in mobile games.”
“Reviving with ads doesn't pause the game, so you just die again anyway.”

The story aspect of the game has left some players disappointed, as they expected a more narrative-driven experience with adventure and RPG elements, rather than a focus on repetitive wave-based gameplay.
“I thought the game would be an adventure dungeon ghost hunting game with a little bit of story and RPG elements, not just a wave-type game. It's kind of disappointing...”
“The story felt underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I was expecting a rich narrative, but instead, it felt like a series of disconnected events with no real emotional impact.”
